WEBVTT

00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:07.720
so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the silen X extreme a pro

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:13.440
series heat pipe CPU Cooler so this is the I c92 H2 so I'm going to hold that a

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.359
little bit closer to the camera or better yet I could use this particular

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.840
little trick of mine where I have a little remote that will zoom in on it

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:26.960
aha no cameraman today but I don't need one so it is less than 18 DB according

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:34.480
to silent X it supports all Intel sockets including 775 and AMD socket o

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:38.280
wow 754 and am2 so that means you've got

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:39.559
support for 775 am2 am3 and you can see

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.160
that there's another little sticker on here that says Intel Core i7 compatible

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:50.199
if it would focus there it goes so Intel Core i7 compatible that means that it is

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:52.399
compatible with LGA 1366 as well this is

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:57.239
a 92mm version designed for smaller cases so why don't we uh have a look at

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:03.160
yeah let's have a look at the side of the box as well so I'm going to do this zooming thing again sorry everyone

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:09.320
all right so first of all this is a heat pipe direct touch heat sink and uh at

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:13.040
the time this was uh a big deal but it

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:15.240
uses 8 mm versus 6 mm on they saying

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.080
most competing products heat pipes that means that it can transfer more heat

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:24.600
faster next of all it uses the latest generation of silen x i extreme a pro

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.640
fans and lastly 38 tightly spaced

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:31.920
aluminum fins offer nearly a class leading 5,000 cm squ of surface area

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:38.439
let's go around to the back where it just has a little bit more about the basic specs as well as some come on

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.000
Focus you can do it no you can't do it okay as well as the compatibility info

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:48.240
which is horrendously outdated okay so why don't we open this thing up and find

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.640
out just what is inside so I'm going to

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.560
go ahead and point that kind of there and then oh man this is brutal not

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:58.680
having someone operating the camera what are you going to do okay let's get the

00:01:56.039 --> 00:02:05.680
Box open so the first thing we find inside you can see they have packed

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.640
in uh an LGA 1366 bracket all right

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.920
there it is and then the next thing you'll find is they have got a little uh

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:18.280
instruction sheet here so that covers the Intel installation procedure all

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:21.959
right so they show you you put the top bracket down you put four screws through

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:25.599
and it uses a back plate I love mounting systems that have a back plate it's just

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:32.800
so much more secure than trying to use push pins um next we have LGA 775

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:38.879
then we have our four mounting screws and then we have what else do we got in

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.599
here um all right we have ooh this one's

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:49.080
in color too so this is the installation guide for 754 939 940 and am2 so this

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:54.319
will also apply to am3 so that's in color and everything check that out very

00:02:51.840 --> 00:03:00.440
nice very nice indeed okay what's next I can figure out

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:04.799
how to pull that back up here is a piece of double-sided tape I don't know what

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.640
it's for yet maybe we'll figure it out maybe we

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.840
won't okay let's keep digging further in

00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:17.120
see what else we can find here oh oh wow

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:20.640
okay so H here is the back plate

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.400
for gee well which mounting system is

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:31.680
this for cuz it doesn't look like it's compatible with both 775 and

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:34.519
1366 so oh okay I was mistaken the 775

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:40.040
version uses the plastic push pins whereas the 1366 version uses a bolt

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:45.799
through so this back plate is for the 1366 version okay I get it now oh and we

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.439
figured out what the uh what the double-sided tape is for it's for this

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.400
fan speed controller so the cable for the fan speed controller is also in here

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.120
everything's just kind of loose in the Box it's not the best package I've ever

00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:01.079
seen a product but I mean it's not like any of this is fragile and going to be

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.519
damaged so you just plug this in on the one side here you just kind of line it

00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:08.920
up so that it goes in like that and then at the one end this goes into your

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:12.200
motherboard header or into a Molex to three pin adapter and then this plugs

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:17.680
into your fan and then you can use this little dial here to adjust the fan speed

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:21.359
very cool okay next we have

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.759
um H okay we've got a little uh baggie

00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:26.400
of thermal compound as well as four push pins I'm going to go ahead and assume

00:04:24.919 --> 00:04:34.759
that those are for AMX am2 am2 plus am3 next they include

00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:37.120
not only two uh fan wire Clips but four

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:41.400
so that means that besides the 92 mm fan included you can also mount an

00:04:38.919 --> 00:04:45.240
additional 92mm fan to the unit without buying any accessories besides what's

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.680
included in the Box okay so before we get to the actual

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:55.800
heat pipe cooler itself why don't we have a look at the

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:58.880
fan there it is a 92 mm fan the blades

00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.880
spin like this it's all shiny and even

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:06.440
the fan itself is is pretty silver and shiny it has uh one of those transparent

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.840
plastic uh three pin connectors it's quite long you shouldn't have too much

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:14.400
trouble with that like all of the latest generation silent x i extreme a fans it

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.840
uses a small Hub in the center and their claim is that that gives you more usable

00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:23.560
airflow Space versus fans with a larger Hub I kind of buy

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:26.080
that okay next we have the actual heat

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.160
pipe cooler itself so why don't we start cuz I usually do this at the end why

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:34.520
don't we start with the obligatory finger do so you can see that it is not

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:37.759
all that shiny but if there to be believed it is quite flat I can actually

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.680
feel the Machining marks though quite and clearly with my fingernail uh

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.720
whether or not that's going to be a problem when you're actually cooling a processor with it yeah it remains to be

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.080
seen but you can see actually I'm going to like get up to show the camera this

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:54.319
maybe I'll Shine the Light directly at it see if we can get it to focus a

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.479
little better oh that is not

00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:00.160
helping there we go okay so you can see

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:04.479
that they've actually lapped the heat pipe surface itself so that's

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:08.880
what they mean by heat pipe direct touch okay and then so these are three nice

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:13.160
thick heat pipes these are still thick even by today's standards despite the

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:18.400
fact that this is a relatively old product and then you can see that the uh

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.240
fins are quite close together not really they're not jammed in that close so they

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.560
should perform quite well with a low air flow fan low noise fan which you would

00:06:23.880 --> 00:06:30.080
make sense because silent X Prides themselves and their low noise low

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:33.759
airflow fans I mean I don't mean low air flow I mean they're low air flow

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:37.960
compared to a high noise fan the top is very shiny so you can probably actually

00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:40.840
see my camera there you go yeah you can totally see my camera in the top of it

00:06:39.479 --> 00:06:46.720
so I really like that and it has like a silent X logo on it I think that pretty

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.520
much covers if I can find my remote

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:54.759
everything I wanted to say about this particular cooler and so thank you for

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:54.759
checking out my unboxing
